초록

Recent changes in the automobile industry seem to be proceeding in a different direction from the trajectory developed over the last 100 years and the convergence of the ICT technology and the automobile industry is becoming reality. Judging whether the current trend of smart car technology has the power to change the paradigm of the automobile industry is of great significance when analyzing the automobile industry. In this study, we systematically classified smart car technology based on existing literature on smart cars, various government reports and patent data, and based on this we conducted an in - depth technical analysis on smart vehicle technology using the collected patent data.
The results of the analysis are as follows. First, smart car technology has been growing rapidly since 2011. Second, if you look at smart car technology from a quantitative perspective on patent applications, GM is the most active in technology development among the existing “Big Five” makers. Toyota, Hyundai Motor Co. and Renault Nissan are top-ranked, Volkswagen is relatively lagging behind. Third, patent applications are mostly made by parts and materials manufacturers, ICT companies, and platform companies such as Google, rather than by existing car makers. Fourth, in the past, technology trends have been focused on safety-related technology, but today’s smart car technology focuses on communication related technology. This trend will further accelerate the convergence of the automobile industry and the ICT industry.
In summary, when we look at the technology application related to smart cars, the main players are those related to the ICT industry, not to the existing car makers, and from the technical point of view the technology is developing in a new area that is not the powertrain centered on engines and transmissions being the original technology of the existing automobile industry.
In the end, the convergence of industries, that is, the convergence of the ICT and the automobile industry, will change the automobile industry into a different shape in the future and it seems highly likely that the automobile industry will be reborn as a new industry called smart cars. This will certainly serve as a window of opportunity for new latecomers.
